last update Huling Na-update: 2025-11-01 01:53:04

The rain had stopped, leaving streets slick and reflective, the city glittering like shards of broken glass. Damon and Sarah stepped out of the police convoy that had escorted them from the warehouse, their boots splashing in shallow puddles. Alex’s small hand slipped into Sarah’s, his eyes wide but trusting, holding onto the sense of safety they had fought so hard to secure.

Inside the Draven estate, Damon moved with deliberate care, placing Alex on the couch and letting him curl up under a warm blanket. The boy had been through terror and chaos, but in these quiet moments, the resilience Damon admired so much was visible — and fragile.

Sarah stood beside Damon, her hand brushing against his arm, a silent grounding. “He’s okay,” she said softly. “For now.”

Damon nodded but didn’t release the tension coiled in his shoulders. “For now,” he echoed. His eyes scanned the city beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, alert to every flicker of movement. Katrina might be contained temporarily, b

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL   Epilogue – A Life Reclaimed

    Sunlight spilled across the penthouse, warm and golden, illuminating a space that had once been the epicenter of danger but now felt like a sanctuary. Damon stood by the balcony, arms crossed loosely, watching the city wake beneath him. The skyline glimmered like diamonds in the morning light, a stark contrast to the shadows that had once haunted every corner of their lives.Sarah appeared beside him, barefoot and smiling, her hair cascading softly over her shoulders. She rested a hand on her slightly rounded belly, the first subtle sign of the twins growing inside her. Damon turned, eyes lighting up, and pulled her close, pressing a gentle kiss to her temple.“Can you believe this?” he murmured. “All of it… over. Finally.”Sarah leaned against him, letting the morning sun warm her face. “I know,” she said softly. “And look at us. Safe. Together. Alex is happy, we’re happy… and soon, our girls will be here. I never thought I’d feel this kind of peace again.”Alex’s laughter rang out f

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL   Chapter 160 - New Beginnings

    The first light of dawn filtered through the penthouse windows, casting a warm glow across the room. Damon stirred, still wrapped in the lingering warmth of Sarah’s body, the sheets tangled around them in the aftermath of another night together. The events of the past weeks, months, and years seemed almost surreal. The betrayals, the threats, the dangers—all of it had been overcome.Sarah shifted beside him, her head resting lightly on his chest. Her fingers traced idle patterns over his skin, a gentle, intimate rhythm that reminded Damon how fragile and beautiful the quiet moments could be. He pressed a soft kiss to her temple, inhaling her familiar scent. “Morning,” he murmured, voice thick with sleep and desire.“Morning,” she whispered back, smiling. Her eyes held a mixture of contentment, relief, and something else, a quiet intensity that made Damon’s pulse quicken. “We’ve survived everything, Damon.”“And we’ll survive everything else, together,” he replied, wrapping his arms ar

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL   Chapter 159 - Justice Served

    The courthouse was alive with quiet murmurs and the clicking of cameras as Damon, Sarah, and Alex entered, their presence drawing both attention and respect. The months of relentless danger, betrayal, and false accusations had led them to this very day, the day justice would finally be delivered.Damon’s eyes scanned the room and locked on Katrina Andre, sitting rigidly in handcuffs, her face a mask of fury and disbelief. Lucas Adams, too, appeared subdued but defiant, his betrayal laid bare for all to see. Damon’s jaw tightened. There had been no place for doubt—the evidence, painstakingly collected, left no room for excuses.Sarah’s hand brushed against Damon’s, fingers lacing with his as if to ground him. The memory of the night they had shared together—the release, the closeness, the intimacy—gave him a calm strength. He squeezed her hand briefly, a silent acknowledgment of the bond that had carried them through every threat.The prosecutor rose, commanding attention. “Your Honor,

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL   Chapter 158 - The Calm After the Storm

    The city below was quiet for once, bathed in the soft glow of the morning sun. The events of the past weeks — the threats, the attacks, the near misses — had left scars, but inside the Draven penthouse, a rare peace settled. Damon and Sarah moved through the rooms slowly, savoring the stillness that had been impossible for so long.Alex ran ahead, his small feet tapping across the polished floors as he inspected the newly decorated living area. “Mommy, Daddy, it’s like a castle now!” he exclaimed, twirling in excitement.Sarah laughed, picking him up and spinning him gently. “It is, Alex. But it’s more than that. It’s our home, safe and ours. And we’ll keep it that way.”Damon’s gaze softened as he watched them. The weight of the past months — the constant threats from Katrina, the relentless planning, the sleepless nights — seemed to lift, if only for a moment. He crossed the room, sliding an arm around Sarah’s waist, pulling her close.“We did it,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to he

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL   Chapter 157 - Vows in the Fire

    The morning air was crisp, almost deceptively calm, as guests began to arrive at the rooftop venue overlooking the city. The skyline glimmered with early sunlight, painting the horizon in shades of gold and rose. Everything was in place — flowers, décor, seating — but the calm didn’t fool Damon or Sarah.They both knew Katrina’s shadow still lingered. The previous night’s attack had been a warning. The penthouse, the wedding, Alex — all targets. But Damon refused to let fear steal this moment.Sarah adjusted the delicate lace of her gown, hands trembling slightly. Damon approached, his suit perfectly tailored, his presence grounding. He lifted her hand gently to his lips, kissing her knuckles.“Are you sure about this?” he asked softly.“I’ve never been more sure,” Sarah replied, her voice steady, but her eyes glimmered with emotion. “No matter what happens, this is us. Always.”Alex tugged at her skirt. “Mom, Dad, are we really doing this today?”Damon knelt, brushing a strand of hai

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL   Chapter 156 - Wedding Day Fire

    The morning sun broke over the city in a blaze of gold, but inside the Draven penthouse, there was no time to admire the skyline. Today was the day they had been planning for months — the day Damon and Sarah would finally make their vows official. Alex was up early, dressed in his tiny suit, nervously adjusting a bow tie that seemed slightly too large for his small frame.“Are you nervous, buddy?” Sarah asked, kneeling beside him as she smoothed a crease from his jacket.Alex shook his head, though his fingers fidgeted with the cuffs. “Excited. But… what if something goes wrong?”Sarah smiled, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. “Nothing will go wrong. We’ve planned every detail, and we have the best team watching over us. Just remember, this day is about us, and most importantly, it’s about you being part of our family officially.”Damon entered the room, carrying two cups of hot chocolate. He handed one to Alex and the other to Sarah. “Ready to do this?” he asked, voice low
